Former Paris St Germain boss Tuchel took over from the sacked Frank Lampard in January and has guided Chelsea from ninth to fourth place in the league."We had huge challenges in the Premier League and we came out of it very strong and showed our mentality and quality in all of these matches," Tuchel said.
